Indelible Parting

Should I wear myself off in tears? Should I get myself lost with beer? Should I dare consult the seers for the loss of a comely dear? Can I live onwards with this fear that your voice I may no longer hear? Will our friendship be just mere now that you're no longer near? My tears flow because it cannot stand when death gives a blow with its icy hand. Moments with you is now a deserted land, much more like a desert without sand. It’s not possible to buy life with money. It’s incredible you left earlier for this lonely journey. It’s a blow and a surprise to me and the many that death does not respect even the canny. How I wish you had stayed with me longer at least for a little while; then we can share more moments together as I enjoy more of your smile. My lovely dearie, rest in peace. Rest in peace in the bosom of Father Abraham. My prayer is that you be kept in a place; a place safe and devoid of every harm.
